Random Indie Rock Albums

Personal — Nathan on 2008-03-18 at 7:29 pm

Doing my part to propogate a certain meme I read about on several websites, I am posting my official randomly generated indie rock album. If you want to know the rules for creating one, look at the links above – I’m too lazy to type them out. Basically everything is based on random quotes, random images, and random Wikipedia Articles.

  • Artist: No. 122 Squadron RAF
  • Album: Characteristic Doctrine of Our Time
  • Track List:
    • Fuller Baronets
    • Who Do We Think We Are
    • Mokichi Okada
    • Verus
    • Connally Independent School District
  • Album Art Photo (I will not be spending time putting in typography):

  • And since I assmue you know that Fuller Baronets is the hit single, here are the lyrics to that awesome track:

Fuller Baronets

An expert is the mathematics of probability
The surest way to do something about it
As long as people hate their friends
Nothing amuses me more – a burden it was.

Fuller Baronets [x4]

Make sure to rise and go home
A harbor, even, is worth the price
A human being is like a beautiful sadness
There’s only one corner – kind and neat.

Fuller Baronets [x4]

I admit I cheated a little on the lyrics – the quotes themselves just didn’t fit right.

This whole concept is intriguing to me from a John Cage type of perspective – there is a real pull for me to aleatory elements in music. If I could find a system to work in a randomizer for the music itself, this might be interesting.

I might find a way to work parts of these concepts into my next piece (after the in-progress Piano studies), which I have a name for but no music – I will withhold the name until I get some music written, but let’s say it speaks to randomness and/or divination.
